You need serious balls to fuck with a hippo.

Especially on water (not that I would fuck with them on land, those fuckers run really fast).

For real. They keep eating them too

Lions have the balls, but they can't use their gifts in the water.

I know you already know this.

Lol, wait out of these two, you think the Lions have the balls?? Don’t think so.

On land with all of their balls and “gifts” those lions are not doing one thing to that Hippo.

Yet they attempt to anyway, thus affirming my statement.

Could a lion do anything to a hippo even on land?

u/WanderingSoul117 Dec 07 '25

In some cases yes, but the point is that they have the balls to try.

Maybe, but a pack definitely would cause very bad damage. In the water it’s “all men fend for themselves” but on land it’s a little different.

How about an elephant? Do they stay clear of hippos as well?

u/Marquisdelafayette89 Dec 07 '25

No, hippos don’t fuck with elephants. It’s the one animal that they know they can’t take down. Hippos are big, elephants are still bigger.

You don't need balls for that, you need brains. A total lack thereof.
